Some people here say that this comet won't hit Earth.
The Earth is to small and the comet is even smaller.
The odds are so high thatr it's not woth mentioning, they say.
So, no impact this time.
Some of these same people agree that this comet got hit with something, like an meteor.
Think about that.
They say the odds are to high to even worry with them(comet hitting Earth), but they say the comet got hit by something even smaller than the comet and that collision caused the brightening of the comet.

Some? I'd say some say it will hit because GLP is the ONLY place where people think it will hit based on nothing.
And comets have brightened in the past, just not as much.
Seriously why are people trying to find a reason to tell everyone they're going to die? There are plent of independent observers and observatories out there and not one acts like GLP...

First off, I'm confused since you yourself believe its not going to hit.
And what I'm emphasising is the need for none of this doomsaying. What you've got going is good. It is very interesting event and should be observed but whats better? What you've been doing or the thread being bombarded by irational armageddonists? |

For all who couldn't see it yet, including me, ;(
Periodic Comet Holmes (17P) is currently located in east-central Perseus. Although this finder chart shows the northeastern horizon at dusk, the comet will be easier to spot late at night, when Perseus is more nearly overhead. Click on image for a larger view.

i was thinking the dbunkers sound fear based. they keep focusing in on the few who think it will impact, but impact doesn't seem to be what most people are actually thinking about the comet, it's more of a sign, accompanies the radical and dangerous things that have been happening in the world. they need to go hang out on the $$$threads, not where there is creative thinking. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 317642
Oh I'm willing to talk and think creative on a lgical level in this case, but theres some crap to filter. And I know its actually the minority that thinks impact (and so far JUST on GLP) but I just have beef with them always, nothing to do with fear ALTHOUGH I can see where you're coming from with that notion. |

Its pretty simple.
Holmes is already "passed" earth and was millions of miles away at its closet point.
"Any" threat at all would be from debris of the tail, which that too is millions of miles away and the earths orbit is also pulling earth further away.
The "only" thing that should be in discussion is the anomolous behavior.
Most of you people on this forum would rather panic sex and claim death is near instead of research into something. |
